Comment: I have been on this medication for about 1 month and my depression has eased tremendously. I can feel normal again. I take it with Paxil. Only problem is that it makes me very sleepy, so I take it an hour before bedtime.

Comment: After many years of finding no meds successful in treating my depression. Ive been taking this drug for 2 years along with effexor. I sleep well, have lots of energy and am doing so much better that Im returning to school. However, my cholesterol level has sky rocketed on this drug. Not sure if Im going to be able to continue with it or not

Comment: I have ADHD and depression secondary to ADHD. I have been on Seroquel and Effexor (both generic) for several years. I also take generic Adderall. Seroquel kills 3 birds with one stone for me. I sleep much better. Without it sometimes my ADHD stimulant causes sleeplessness. My depression is well controlled. And it helps me concentrate better.
